Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo.
You Too? I thought I was the only one.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Friends are those rare people who ask how we are, and then wait to hear the answer.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing...that is a friend who cares.
Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.
Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends.
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
